I used to listen to a band called the Genetics from Eugene Oregon around 1966-67. They played high school/college parties and dances.  These guys got me interested in playing music at age 13.

I was turned on to this site by a friend who knew I had been in a band many years ago.   He even remembered the name of the band.  He told me to go to this site and check it out.  Sure as hell there was my old band.  Pretty Cool!

I think the site is great and will spend a bunch of time going through it.
